Oscar de la Renta has launched Alibi Eau de Parfum, its first fragrance designed for the house by co-creative directors Fernando Garcia and Laura Kim.
Inspired by Oscar de la Renta’s Alibi handbag, the timeless, structured silhouette of the bottle is accented with a reimagined gold clasp. The feminine blush color of the parfum provides an elegant contrast to the strong design elements.
“Our vision for the Alibi fragrance was to express the evolution of the Oscar de la Renta woman, and the duality of her modern femininity; chic and sensual yet empowered,” said Laura Kim. “The world evolves, and Oscar always told us to evolve with it.”
About the Scent
For the scent, Takasago senior perfumer Catherine Selig wanted to create “a captivating duality of free spirited floralcy contrasted with feminine sensuality.”
The fragrance opens with a fresh citrus accord of Mandarin and Ginger Blossom. At the heart of the fragrance, the mystery deepens with elegant Vanilla Orchid and Heliotrope. Sensual Musk, Praline and Amberwood combine at the base.
Available in 100 ml ($98), 50 ml ($78) and 30 ml ($58) sizes, Alibi Eau de Parfum will be available at Oscar de la Renta boutiques and OscardelaRenta.com and select Macy’s doors in March, followed by a global launch in April.
